The White House slammed Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona Wednesday as someone desperate for attention, after he gave a speech in the Senate criticizing President Trump’s hostile relationship with the media.
“He’s criticizing the president because he has terrible poll numbers. He’s looking for some attention,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Please Flake the flake. Just go away quietly into the night.
Flake is such a squish. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s a closeted homosexual.
The Bush League Republicans are using Joe Arpaio’s ego to crowd out Kelli Ward and sneak in McSally as Amnesty Senator #2 from AZ to replace Flake.
This type of crap is why Republicans may lose Congress.
Flake has ADHD
They want to lose.
Naturally, like his fellow Arizonian, his popularity with Progressives likely will grow since his strong condemnation of the 62+ million fellow citizens who supported, and continue to support, President Trump's efforts to set back Progressive decades-long re-interpretation and rejection of what Jackson, in his 1832 Proclamation Regarding Nullification, called the U. S. Constitution--"the object of our reverence, the bond of our Union, our defense in danger, the source of our prosperity in peace."
His Progressive stance, including his oft-repeated Progressive line about "our democracy," belies his purported understanding of America's Constitutional government, as is evidenced by the following excerpt from John Quincy Adams' "Jubilee Address" (50th Anniversary of DOC for folks like Flake).“But this institution was republican, and even democratic. And here not to be misunderstood, I mean by democratic, a government, the administration of which must always be rendered comfortable to that predominating public opinion . . . and by republican I mean a government reposing, not upon the virtues or the powers of any one man - not upon that honor, which Montesquieu lays down as the fundamental principle of monarchy - far less upon that fear which he pronounces the basis of despotism; but upon that virtue which he, a noble of aristocratic peerage, and the subject of an absolute monarch, boldly proclaims as a fundamental principle of republican government. The Constitution of the United States was republican and democratic - but the experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived; and it was obvious that if virtue - the virtue of the people, was the foundation of republican government, the stability and duration of the government must depend upon the stability and duration of the virtue by which it is sustained.” - John Quincy Adams - "Jubilee" Address, April, 1839
For Flake and his "admirers," John Quincy Adams was nine years old when his father was instrumental in the adoption of our Declaration of Independence, eleven when the Constitution was adopted, served in numerous capacities in the Federal government, including as President, and in the Congress until his death--which occurred exactly 50 years to the day from the date of the Declaration, as did Thomas Jefferson, that other giant of the history of our liberty!
Match that, Mr. "Pretender"!
If the GOP-e loses they can go back to making brave stands against laws they actually favor (SEE: Affordable Care act) while still being able to say, “Grrrrr—send me back and I’ll fight to repeal it!”
We gave them what they said they wanted—a majority: their excuse for standing by while the `rats pushed bad laws, regulations, policies, nominees and EOs through ... and they p***ed it away.
Any folk from Arizona out here? Get this idiot Flake the heck out of Dodge!!!!!!!
Loved when politician Flake tried to nail down his diatribe (based on the false meme that the MSM always tells the truth) by telling us that NO POLITICIAN gets to tell us what the truth is....can’t make this crap up near as fast as the commies do it.
